Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello,

One my the sites I work with, http://www.oransi.com, has seen a significant decrease in crawl Googlebot activity in the last 90 days. See screenshot.

This decrease in crawl stats runs in conjunction with less Kb downloaded per day & an increase in how much time it took Google to download a page.

The client did just go through a redesign, however that happened on 4/16/15, which was after the decrease in Googlebot activity, so that should not be the issue. Same could be said for the mobilegeddan algorithm change.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Miranda,

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question, but there's no way to compare month to month- or bounce a monthly report, correct? While custom date ranges would be really useful, even if I could just bounce a report at the end of the month and be able to compare month over month (without having to do so manually) would be an incredible enhancement. As it stands, Moz is a great tool for my internal purposes- but as far as reporting for clients it doesn't help me very much at all, as I generally prefer to present most data monthly. Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks!

I really hope so and that it happens soon. This is a feature that, in my view, significantly hinders the usability of the tool, and would probably be the reason we move off of it if we do. Love the data, just needs more flexibility with how to use it.

Nathan,

Thanks for your response. The domain name is www.Oransi.com and I did use Tamara's advice, which worked for the most part. Certain variables came into play that I wasn't expecting, but overall that did fix my issue. However, if you could indeed suggest to the V13 product team about using product names as H1s, I believe your clientele would benefit indeed.

Thanks to everyone who helped here.

So I'm working with a client who has no heading tags on his site and I'm wondering if there is an ideal method to implementing these on the product pages specifically, as the wording I ideally want to specify is is the product title, which i can't really code with an H1.

Has anyone run into this issue? If so, what was your solution?

Also, how vital are these heading tags on the product pages, anyways?

If the Volusion SEO expert could chime in, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

I'm actually not having a problem with it per se.  A client I'm working with swears that he was penalized for changing his title tags, and thus was very upset when I optimized his into 2013 SEO conventions.  I had never heard of this kind of penalty and wanted to check in with people and see if they've experienced anything like it- because I'm pretty certain that's not a thing at all.

How often do you guys update title tags?

Hey Mozzers

I'm certain of the answer to this question, however I wanted to get some input from the experts in Moz-land to hopefully provide some additional perspective.  I recently disagree with a client's assertion that there is some penalty Google levels for changing the title tags of your home page.  Now, I understand changing the title tags can influence serp rankings, however, is anyone aware of some penalty Google levels for simply changing the title tags?  Most of what I've read and experienced has people changing them all the time without some phantom penalty.  It seems to me a problem of correlation = causality, in that people often attribute a drop to an action that may not have actually been the cause.

Anyway, if you have any particular insight on this top I would appreciate it greatly.

thanks!

That's great- I was thinking of trying something similar.  One follow up though, were the sub content pages actually "pages" or were they accessible only through refinement.

For example, if we're talking about "Orange Shoes" - did you actually have a page for Orange Shoes, or is it accessible just by refining Orange shoes from the shoes category?

So part of it is that I'm a little wary of deleting those pages, but also that the search-refinement won't be SEO friendly either.

VzPRO,

Just wanted to come back in here and thank you for suggesting the more-specific On-Page Optimization Tool. This is exactly what I was looking for and makes way more sense to me - to the point where I know exactly what to do to fix most applicible pages and improve their grades substantially. Thanks again!
